Employers and their agencies use the interview to review their selection of the best candidates by predicting future job performance. Following your written application, a member of the JAV team of specialist I.T. recruitment consultants may contact you and arrange for an interview.
In your interview the JAV consultant will not only ask you questions to verify your technical knowledge and experience but will also ask you several behavioural questions to assess personal attributes such as your communication skills, aptitude for understanding business requirements, interest in ongoing learning and capacity for team work.
Prepare yourself for your interview by:

Arriving at the interview in plenty of time |
